THE ECHINOIDEA.

— In the type specimen all the paired interambulacra are excluded from the peri- 

 stome, as shown in the figure quoted (PI. V. 37); in the present specimen this is 

 the case with interambulacrum i., not \\ith 2.; those of the other side I have not 

 denuded, so I cannot state how it is with them. — The spines of the plastron were 

 all broken, so that I cannot, an}' more than KOKHLER, give definite information of 

 their shape; judging from some spines preserved in most of their length, the point 

 is probably only slightly widened. 



KOEHLEK has pointed out the most interest- 

 ing feature that the odd anterior ambulacrum is 

 of almost the same shape as the paired petals, 

 and that the pores are developed in the same 

 way in all of them. It is in accordance with 

 this fact that the tubefeet are also developed in 

 the same way; the abactinal tubefeet of the an- 

 terior ambulacrum have no sucking disk and no 

 rosette plates, as is, otherwise, generally the 

 case; they are sack-shaped gills without spicules, 

 quite like the tubefeet of the paired petals. 

 There are no distinct subanal tubefeet. In the 

 tubefeet at the peristome some few irregular rods 

 or fenestrated plates are found below the disk; 

 the supporting rods of their filaments are simple, 

 not thickened. 



KOEHLEK has found only one kind of pedi- 

 cellarise, viz. the interesting two-valved form 

 figured in PL II. Fig. 12 (Op. cit.). I have like- 

 wise found this form, which evidently repre- 

 sents the tridentate pedicellari?e, in great num- 

 bers and different sizes, from quite small to 

 0.8 length of head (PI. XIX P^igs. 1—2, 6, 11,

 same is the case with the hindmost right epi- 

 proctal plate and with the plates on the right

blade being a closed tube, only 



slit downwards from the outer, slightly widened 



part, where the valves join; in the small ones the blade is open in the whole length. 



There is no apophysis, a very interesting feature, not occurring in the bivalve pedi- 



cellaria; of Abatus. The neck is well developed; the stalk is rather compact, without 



distinct widening above; there is a more or less developed »milled ring» below. — 



Besides this form 1 have also found globiferous and rostrate pedicellarite. Only one 



specimen of globiferous pedicellaria; was found, and even a rather badly preserved
